In this episode, I am focusing on Iboga and 5-MeO-DMT, two of the most potent substances known to humankind. This episode is to serve as a guide for people who are unsure of which heavy hitting psychedelic to work with. My theory is that while these two medicines are complete polar opposites, together, they offer a whole and complete picture of what this human existence is all about. Both help us answer important questions from different angles.I provide an in-depth comparison of Iboga and 5-MeO-DMT, discussing:what the medicine isoriginethical considerationsuse casesthe experiencedurationenergy of the medicinepreparation processintegration considerationsphysical effectswho it's best suited forhow to know if you're ready for each one.Sponsors:Natural Shilajit | Head to naturalshilajit.com to get 10% off with LANA10OFFShow Links:Apply for 1:1 coaching with LanaNatural Shilajit - LANA10OFF for 10% off!Iboga Wellness Center (full review)Enfold Institute (full review)Episode 73: My First Psychedelic Ego Death: Embracing The Inner Darkness (Spotify | Apple | YouTube) Want more Modern Psychedelics?Instagram | YouTube | Web | Facebook Inspired to transform your life from the inside out, and integrate higher consciousness in your day to day life?Explore 1:1 Coaching with Lana or Apply Now Please support the show: leave a review on Apple or a 5-star rating on Spotify if this episode sparked something within.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview the second papa to ever come on the show, Levi Barker, a father and steward of Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica who approached me with a desire to share his story. Levi came to Iboga about 14 years ago due to an opiate addiction. After coming to the medicine himself and finding solace and healing, he befriended a Bwiti medicine carrier who trained him, and 8 years later offered him the blessing to serve this medicine. Iboga holds incredibly potent powers in reminding people of their clarity and strength, and aids them in overcoming intense addictions, as well as being a form of treatment for common mental health obstacles such as depression (including postpartum depression) anxiety, and ptsd. Iboga is also now known for its supportive measures in boosting fertility & supporting those who may have been considered infertile to conceive human life. Levi shares some of the Bwiti lessons he's walked with, simple universal truths about what it means to be a human and live here on earth. He speaks to how this medicine & his journey has impacted his parenting & how he feels this teacher can support those clearing out their subconscious closets before becoming parents or those who already are and want to go deeper.(Wifi connection was weak in a few moments excuse the breaks)Resources: Where to find Levi: IG: @realibogawellnesscenter https://www.instagram.com/realibogawellnesscenter/Website: https://ibogawellness.com/Your Host Mackenzie: IG: @mamapsychedelia@hunnywombdoulaIntro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.

"Iboga shows you the truth. And when you see the truth you're not confused anymore. And when you're not confused anymore, life becomes easier and lighter."The highly anticipated part 2 of my Iboga experience is here! If you missed part 1, I suggest you listen to that first over at episode 45. I recorded this two months after this experience and my love and respect for this medicine continues to deepen. This was a life changing, life affirming experience and I don't think I will ever be the same after iboga.In this episode, I share about the second iboga ceremony at Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica. It was a wildly different experience from the first one, and I learned about what true inner peace means and how to access it. The beautiful thing about this experience was that I was already starting to integrate new behaviours during the retreat.Thank you from the bottom of my heart, firstly, to the Bwiti people who have opened their doors to Westerners, and allowing us to receive the iboga medicine and learn about the bwiti way of living. Thank you to Levi & Iboga Wellness for such a beautiful, safe and transformational experience. Thank you to the land & and Earth.

Most of us have heard of Ayahuasca, but have you heard of Iboga? Iboga is the chief plant spirit of West Africa, and for the Bwiti and Pygmy people, Iboga has been used for thousands of years for physical and spiritual healings, spiritual self-discovery, and to study the Art of Living.It is said that “Iboga is the ultimate guide and healer for our time here on Earth. It helps us to release the past (depression) and stop worrying about potential futures (anxiety) so that we can find peace in the present moment.”“It weaves its way through the caverns of our mind, rewiring and resetting the patterns of thought and belief that manifest our reality. Through this powerful reset, we are able to reformat our brains, carving out new, self-serving neuropathways as we disengage the old, toxic ones.”The resulting peace of mind shifts us into a flow with — not a resistance to — life itself.”On this episode, I welcome Levi Barker from the Iboga Wellness Center in Csta Rica to talk about how Iboga made its way to the West, its popularity with Opioid detox, Levi's own journey with the medicine, and what one can expect when experiencing healing from Iboga vs. Ayahuasca.CONNECT WITH LEVI + IBOGA WELLNESS CENTER: Website | Ibogawellness.comCONNECT WITH MADISON Instagram | @themetawithmadisonWork with me | madisonhatten.comSupport the show

Mateo Bonells is a plant medicine healer at the Iboga Wellness Center, Gabon, and is an initiate of the Bwiti tradition. In this episode, we discuss the wonder that is Iboga, the ethics of the government's attempt to coerce everyone to take the COVID-19 vaccine, the cultural division this is causing, and much more. P.S. There's some real display of vulnerability on this one, so if that kind of content offends you, I suggest you skip this episode. (4:24) What does initiation into the Bwiti tradition at the Iboga Wellness Center in Gabon look like? (10:20) What does the future look like? What are the events of today leading up to? Is there any way to tell with any accuracy or certainty? (18:35) How the Bwiti cope with uncertainty (19:16) The cultural controversies COVID has left in its wake; should you take the vaccine? Are the conspiracy theorists right? Seeing as the government and health authorities told multiple straight-out lies over the course of the past year, shouldn’t we be at least a little concerned at the government’s attempts to coerce everyone into taking the vaccine?   (36:02) Is it possible to successfully push back against state propaganda on a large scale? (45:41) How does Iboga work? How is it able to do such a wide range of things from curing heroin addiction, to fixing physiological ailments, to providing meaning? What are its secrets?

I haven't talked too much about Iboga on the show. I think I've mentioned it a couple of times in a few episodes.  I decided to take Iboga on my way back from Colombia once I heard about Corona virus in early January. The experience itself was bewildering but it has been a key part of keeping my mental health in order during this period of chaos. This is an interview I did with Levi, one of the providers at Iboga Wellness Center. Here is the center: https://ibogawellness.com/  

Levi Barker is remarkable Bwiti Iboga provider and facilitator at Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica. After being addicted to opiates throughout a large chunk of his twenties and thirties, Levi discovered the life-altering transformational and healing powers of Iboga, a plant medecine native to the Gabon and Cameroon areas of west Central Africa.    In this interview, we explore the sacred and ceremonial use of Iboga for personal transformation and healing, as well as its role as an unmatchable tool in opiate recovery ongoing integration. We also cover a little bit of the history, science, and common uses of the Iboga root and one of its alkaloids, Ibogaine.   “If we can get things moving on an energetic level, it helps us manifest what we want in our life on a physical level.”- Levi Barker   Iboga is an intelligent medicine that does no stop teaching. As if you are entering a portal to a waking dream state, it is common for experiences with Iboga or Ibogaine to dive deep internally, highlighting the importance of self-love at a core level.   To learn more about Iboga Wellness, or to get in touch with Levi, visit the links below:   1.844.450.6720 Email: info@ibogawellness.com www.ibogawellness.com   Shownotes: www.heatharmstrong.com/podcast (Transcription coming soon)

In part two I continue to prepare for my first ceremony of Iboga root bark. I get my heart checked at the Hospital, (EKG) I check in with some of my fellow participants at the Iboga Wellness Center, and we go through orientation, and try to calm the tidal wave of nerves that have been building since I decided to try it. Cool and calm and I am not, and you can certainly hear my anxiety throughout this episode. People take Iboga for many reasons, but for me it was so I could try to let go of some excruciating pain from my past that was rotting me from the inside out. So I used Iboga to try to break free of my past in order to move on to a happier future. Other people were there to move on from childhood trauma, drug addiction, lack of a spiritual core and were longing for a reconnection with their souls... Wherever you are in this world I send you love and white light and hope you're having a beautiful sunny day full of cold puppy noses and warm long hugs. Don't forget it's almost firefly time!!

They say that old ways won't open new doors...so I decided to do something new and open the scariest and most elusive door of all, the one that leads directly inside of my mind. I had heard about Iboga for years, first when my girlfriend used it successfully to rid herself of alcoholism. Iboga is traditionally used in West African countries including Cameroon, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo to induce deep hallucinogenic trances where profound healings take place. Iboga is now being used in specialized clinics in Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Africa, and New Zealand with astonishing results. For reasons I don't understand, Iboga like all plant medicine is a schedule 1 narcotic and will send you to actual pound you in the butt prison if you're caught with it. My purpose in doing this podcast is to show that this is not a drug, it's a tool and a guide to help you overcome trauma and live in the present free from the shackles of addiction and pain. It is one of the only truly effective tools that can be used in the fight against opiate addiction and has been prying the monkey off people's backs with incredible success. I also want to be clear this isn't just an addiction tool, it's a tool for anyone who is looking to free themselves from self imposed shackles that life teaches you to fasten around your ankles. I don't have any one particular addiction I needed to break, but I had been struggling with deep pain from my past and couldn't seem to find relief anywhere. So, I decided that it was time for me to really understand some of the patterns and grooves living in NYC has chiseled into my grey matter. I decided that I wanted to go as far as I could to understand my past in order to better serve my future. I want to be clear that I do not like hallucinogens, and hate being knocked on my ass, out of control. Mind you I'll eat some mushrooms and dance for hours in the sun but I really truly hate the feeling of hardcore psychedelics, so when it came to this I have never been more terrified. I detoxed for a month leading up to it, but every night after I decided to do it I had nightmares and an unreal amount of anxiety leading me up to this first episode, that I recorded the day before my first ceremony. What took place over the next two weeks was a series of lessons, taught to me, by me, and by this mighty tree bark that allowed me to go deeper into my psyche than I ever thought possible. I want to thank the amazing Iboga Wellness Center, it's providers and it's founder Gary, for leading me through this journey and allowing me the space to sit with my fear and master it. Sending you all the love in the world guys, Zoe If you want to learn more go to Iboga Wellness Center's Website: https://ibogawellness.com/

Meet Morgan Moves around the creator of "bad art." I met him playing a chess game against Mopar, the wonderful wizard of East Jesus. Morgan is so lovey, bright, thoughtful and a has a degenerative eye problem that doesn't allow him to really see faces so he's dedicated his life to making real time drawings of them. He made one for me, and it was certainly charming. He has many tricks up his sleeves and a wonderful outlook on love and monogamy.

Gun Control is a sticky, tricky, very bad no good topic and I feel like we're up to our necks in quicksand and the NRA and special interest groups are shoveling my sand in our face as we try to dig ourselves free. I grew up with a bunch of Jews reading books, who could barely hook up a VCR to the TV if their life depended on it, let alone kill a deer, so far be it from me to understand the kind of mentality one would have to need to protect the right to personally own something that can kill. I don't like guns because I am the kind of nit wit who would accidentally remove herself from the gene pool by shooting herself, and end up looking like Goldie Hawn in Death Becomes Her. Listen, I get it, they're sexy, and they make your clit tingle just a lil bit, but that doesn't mean I think that anyone should have them. I'm not going to even toss my hat in the ring and voice my opinion more than say they scare me and I think that any kind of automatic ANYTHING should be off the market and carry heavy penalities in a Federal Pound You in the Ass prison if you get caught dealing or buying one. Anyhoo I met Desert John, a semi permanent resident of Slab City the first day I arrived at the Midnight Riders Bike Gang Orgy of Explosions and Fire festival (this is not the name but a very accurate description). Desert John is a wonderful, warm, endearing god fearing Jesus loving man who just so happens to have 45 guns with him at all times. He also drives a mad max Dune Buggy and looks like he's an extra from Tombstone. He rocks. The second day of the festival he took me and a bunch of adorable young Israeli's who had accidentally stumbled upon this gathering (they were just trying to go camping) to the "gun range" which was literally just a wide stretch of sand with 1000 spray paint cans set up to blow up with giant black powder powered civil war muskets. Crazily, when we got there was a whole crew of dudes who were also there to practice their ENORMOUS GIANT TERRIBLY SCARY storm trooper lookin 308 custom built assault rifles and a KRISS Vector 9 mm semi automatic recoil suppression rifles and naturally I sauntered up to them with my microphone and As per usual, I got to talking to them about why they loved these weapons so very much, and if in fact it was to correct for having a small impotent penis...I'm smart. Always good to insult the guys with the very largest gun who has literally matched his whole outfit and accessories to the colors of his gun that could take down a TREX. Listen, I'm all about protecting fundamental rights, but fuck this one. But lets be honest, I have motivation for learning how to shoot guns because I am painfully aware that when the next civil war comes, all the liberal loser pansies like me are going to become the sex slaves of the new red neck overlords, THAT IS unless we get our own guns and know how to use them. So I'm starting to train now. Duh, logic. You're welcome intellectuals. When shit hits the fan come find me, I will be Lara Croft levels of ready. I want to say a HUGE thank you to Desert John who we will hear more from in a later episode. Also a huge thank you to Brendon Burke my dear friend for always taking me on great adventures.

Welcome to the Slab City Library and The Goonies Farm! All run with love and donation and sheer ingenuity by people who are fed up of trying to fit into society's whims. It's incredible to see how people can organize and create when left to their own devices. I'll let them speak for themselves but I must tell you the people who created these safe spaces are very special and the main thing I took away from it was the desire to want to learn how to grow my own food, it's insane how removed we all from the processes involved to grow things we put inside of our bodies.
